Traditional CCTV is a passive system that only records events for later review. scOS is a proactive intelligence system that uses MotionX technology to identify 'important activity' in real-time. Unlike standard cameras that trigger on any movement—like a cat or a swaying branch—MotionX is trained to recognise human behaviour and vehicle movement with zero false alarms. Furthermore, scOS doesn't just watch; it acts. By automatically detecting your property boundaries and responding with lights and voice warnings, scOS deters criminals before they can even attempt a break-in at your Midsomer Norton home.

Yes, scOS is brand-agnostic and designed to work with most professional-grade wired IP cameras, such as those from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and Reolink. If you already have a system installed in Midsomer Norton, our UK-based engineers can often integrate it with our Intelligence Hub. During our 4-6 hour professional installation, we'll assess your existing setup and upgrade it with our advanced AI capabilities. This means you can enjoy the benefits of proactive protection and scOS Director AI without having to invest in an entirely new set of cameras.

scOS uses a powerful three-layer deterrent strategy. First is Presence Simulation, which makes your home appear occupied by mimicking your internal lighting and activity patterns when you're away. Second is our MotionX detection, which identifies intruders the moment they step onto your property, even if they are trying to hide their face or movement. Third is Active Intervention: if a threat is detected, scOS triggers instant lighting and authoritative voice warnings from external IoT speakers. This escalating response makes it clear to any intruder that the property is actively monitored and defended.

We are a 100% UK-based company, and your data privacy is our highest priority. All your footage and data are stored in secure UK data centres and are fully GDPR compliant. We never sell or share your data with third parties. scOS uses a hybrid processing model: our Intelligence Hub handles immediate tasks locally for maximum speed, while our secure UK cloud manages complex AI analysis. You have 24/7 access to your recordings for up to two weeks, ensuring you have total control over your home's security data at all times.

A video doorbell is a reactive tool that only monitors your front door and often only alerts you once someone is already there. scOS provides comprehensive intelligence for your entire property. It monitors your driveway, side entrances, and gardens, detecting threats long before they reach your door. Unlike a doorbell, scOS also features active deterrents like presence simulation and voice warnings. For Midsomer Norton residents, scOS offers a complete, proactive security solution that protects your whole home, rather than just acting as a digital peephole for your front door.

While Midsomer Norton is a historic and generally safe town, property crime can still occur, and complacency is a burglar's best friend. scOS is designed to keep you protected without being intrusive. Our Activity Pattern Recognition learns what is 'normal' for your household and only alerts you to genuine anomalies. This means you can enjoy the peace of Midsomer Norton knowing that your home has a sophisticated, always-on intelligence system that will only bother you if there is a real reason for concern.

Yes, scOS features Covered Face Detection, which is specifically designed to flag suspicious behaviour. If someone approaches your property wearing a balaclava, mask, or even a tightly pulled hood to hide their identity, the system will immediately recognise this as a high-priority threat. It will then trigger an escalating response, including voice warnings and instant notifications to your phone. This ensures that even if an intruder tries to hide their face, they cannot hide their presence from scOS's advanced AI.

scOS Director is our conversational AI that allows you to manage your security through simple, natural language. You can ask questions like, 'Director, was there any activity near the back gate last night?' or 'Did the delivery arrive at 2 PM?' The AI will scan your footage and provide an immediate answer along with the relevant video clips. It’s an intuitive way to stay connected to your Midsomer Norton home, making complex security management as easy as having a conversation.
